Members Tool Overview

As an admin, you need a place to easily manage all the members and groups in your Kapost instance. The members page helps you do just that! This article provides details about the members page as well as the difference between various member types, including admins, editors, contributors, and consumers.

Note: Editors and contributors are able to access the members page but are not able to perform any actions on the page including editing, adding, or deleting members and groups.

All Members Tab

You can access the members tool by clicking the members icon in the top navigation bar.

This icon directs you to the all members tab where you will see a list of Kapost members in your instance. By default, the list is in alphabetical order, but can also be sorted by role, or by latest activity. You can use the search bar to look for a specific username or email.

Note: The the total number of members on this tab does not include pending users

When you select one or more members by checking the box next to their name, the following actions become available:

More (Bulk Actions):

Change role

Reassign initiatives, content, and tasks

Note: The reassign action is not available for consumer or source roles because they are not associated to content, initiatives, or tasks.

Add or Remove from SSO whitelist (only available if SSO is enabled)

Remove from instance

Note: Org members cannot be removed from a child instance and their role cannot be changed from a child instance. These actions will need to be completed from the org members page.

Send a Message:

Create a message that will be sent via email to the members you have selected

Add or Remove Groups:

Add selected member(s) to any pre-existing group by checking the box next to the group

Remove selected member(s) from a group by unselecting the checkbox next to the group

Add a new group to your instance by clicking + Add a new group..

From the members tab you can also complete the following actions:

Add Members

Invite members that do not currently belong to your instance by selecting + Add Members

Customize this invite by selecting a role for the new member(s) and by adding a subject line and message to the email

Note: A standard subject and message will be included by default but can be overridden by updating text

Once sent, the invited member will show up in the Pending tab until they accept their invite

Export All Members

A link to download a .csv file containing all members in your instance will be emailed to you within a few minutes.

Note: Export includes pending members

Roles Tab

The Roles tab gives you visibility into the number of members assigned to each role. Roles determine what users are able to do in the system.

Admins have the highest level of permissions and can access and manage everything in the Kapost instance including all settings

Editors are able to access everything in Kapost except settings

Contributors can only access items they own, have assigned tasks on or have been granted visibility on

Consumers are users of the Gallery only. They can view, share and download content but are unable to access other parts of the app

Sources represent anyone who has submitted an idea through the crowdsource form. Source users do not have logins and cannot access anything in Kapost

By selecting a role from this tab, you can view a list of all members assigned to that role. From this list, you can complete many of the same actions available on the Members tab.

Groups Tab

The Groups tab allows you to organize your members, groups can be leveraged in different areas of the app. Users are commonly grouped by department or team.

When you navigate to the Groups tab, you will see a list of all existing groups. Create a new group by clicking + Create new group or delete group(s) by checking the box next to a group then clicking the trashcan icon. To add members to a group, click the icon on the right side of the row corresponding to that group and search for the users you would like to add.

By selecting a group from this tab, you can view a list of all members who belong to the group. From this list, you can complete many of the same actions available on the Members tab.

Pending Tab

The Pending tab shows a list of users invited to your Kapost instance by an admin who have not yet logged in or set up their passwords. The list also shows users who have requested access to your Kapost instance.

If a user has requested access, you can view the message included in the request. You can approve users which grants them access and sends them an invite by clicking Approve in the row or from the More menu.

Users who have been sent an invite will display on this page until they login. Invites can be re-sent by selecting Re-invite in the row or from the More menu.

Many of the same actions available on the Members tab are available for pending users including updating roles and groups.

Membership Settings

On the membership settings page you can adjust who should be able to request access to Kapost, manage advanced security options, and update the invite message sent to new users.

Membership Request:

You can allow non-invited users to request access to your Kapost instance. Doing so will allow them to send a message which goes to instance Admins who can then approve their requests.

Security:

This option will force the members of your instance to adhere to greater security standards. Advanced security is a billing feature that should be discussed with your CSM if you are interested. See this article for more details.

Invitation Message:

When you invite users to Kapost you can display a custom message to them when they first create their account. This message is different from the optional personal message available when the invitation is initially sent.
